Financial Aid For Next Year
Jr.-Sr. Banquet
by Bill Katip
Financial Aid Director
Grace Schools
Financial aid for America's
college students has increased
at a tremendous rate over the
past several years. In analyzing
the 1980-81 financial aid at
Grace College and Seminary, one
finds the amount of aid has
tripled since the 1976-77 school
year and has doubled since the
1978-79 school year. The two
largest areas of increase are the
Basic Grant and Guaranteed
Student Loan Programs (the
Basic G rant program has i ncreased
from $113,288 in 1977-78 to
over $350,000 this year and the
Guaranteed Student Loan Program has increased from
$125,511 in 1977-78 to nearly
$950,000 this year). This year
over 1100 students will receive
a total of over 2.7 million in
aid (this will include approximately 2.2 million to college
students and over a half million
to seminary students).
The Middle Income Student
Assistance Act passed in 1978
was probably the major cause
for the increases in the Federal
programs. In addition to the
legislative changes, increased
efforts have been made to educate Grace students and parents
regarding the availability of
financial aid. These two factors along with the higher cost
of education account for not
only increases in the dollars but
also in the number of recipients
of financial aid at Grace Schools.
The chart on page four should
graphically explain the current
financial aid picture at Grace as
well as the recent growth pattern.
With the large increase in
aid to students from the government also comes the risk of increased vulnerability to any reductions. It appears that the
next few years will be tight
economically and college and
seminary students may indeed
face some reductions in funds
from these programs.
Grace Schools realize the
necessity to continue efforts
to increase Institutional financial aid. A five year plan is now
in operation that greatly increases athletic, talent and academic
awards; institutional need-based
grants will be doubled for next
fall; and the Campaign for the
80's includes $350,000 for student aid.
All of this background does
not answer the question currently being echoed all over campus, "What about aid for next
year?" Following will be an update on the current situation of
the proposed cutbacks at the
Federal level as well as a look
at the new Indiana State Grant/
Scholarship formula and the
Student Employment situation.
Much of the material for this update has been gleaned from an
April 13, 1981 letter from the
National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities
(NAICU).

processing of Basic Grants (soon
to be renamed Pell Grants) has
Farrell Plus Farrell Equals Good Music
"Farrell & Farrell," a contemporary Christian music
group, will give a public concert
at 9 p.m. Saturday, May 2, in
McClain Hall. The popular
husband-wife team of Bob and
Jayne Farrell is being brought
to campus by the school's
junior class it has been
announced by class, president
Tom Bennardo.
This musical duo, fostered
out of a reborn love and a
mutual desire to sing together,
is generating much excitement
in Contemporary Christian Music. Their broad range of talent
and style,, along with their
willingness to share openly how
Christ's working in their shattered pasts allowed them to
grow into the solid unit they
now are, appeals to a wide
variety of backgrounds, ages
and spiritual needs.
The Farrells have just completed a tour of the southeastern
states with long-time friends, the

Juried Art Exhibit
by Mark McClenning
The 7th annual juried art exhibit is being displayed this week at
Colonial Hall. This is the first exhibit in the new facilities.
Any student taking an art course can enter a piece in the exhibit,
even if the student is not an art major. The pieces are submitted
voluntarily. Usually, there are 20-30 students who submit 150-180
pieces. The students have eight categories in which to enter: oil
painting, water base painting, drawing, ceramics, printing, 2-D, sculpture and photography.
The school has a different person come each year to judge these
pieces. Out of the number of pieces submitted, only 40 will get into
the actual show. The judge will then pick a first and second place in
each category and a best-of-show piece. Each piece placed will
receive a cash prize. Second place will receive $10, while first place
gets $30. A $60 prize will be given to the best piece.
This article had to be submitted for publication before the
announcement of the winner was given, so if a person wants to know
who won the exhibit, he will have to go see for himself.
Pat Terry Group. They have
been featured on the nationally
syndicated TV show "Hi Doug"
with Doug Oldham, and have
appeared in concerts with B.J.
Thomas at the 1978 Praise
Gathering for Believers in Indianapolis. .
Their newest record release
is entitled "A Portrait of us All."
It is a reflection of their personal growth experiences since
their first release, "Farrell &
Farrell," in 1978. The first
album was evangelistically slanted while the most recent release
seeks to strengthen Christians.
No admission will be charged
for the concert, but a freewill
offering will be taken.
Senate News
by Mark McClenning
Thursday's Student Senate
was short and furious. Senate
didn't have a lot of business to
do in its last official meeting,
so it just concluded some dealings with a couple items of unfinished business.
Dean Snively will continue to
look into a recommendation
by senate to consider the use of
out-of-town slips only when a
person would be out of town
either overnight or after room
check. This would make the
slips unnecesary for out of town
trips if a person was coming
back the same day.
Senate also made a motion
to ask the Dean's Committee
about the possibility of wearing shorts when spectating outdoor sports activities.
resumed following a six-week
period during which the Education Department refused to process applications until the Congress agreed to certain budget-
related amendments of the 1981
Family Contribution Schedule.
The processing was able to
resume following a compromise
between a Congressional committee and the Reagan Administration. Under this compromise
the administration dropped its
initial call to give any grants to
students from families with incomes over $25,000 and agreed
instead to not allow an increase
for cost of living in the computation formula for the 1981-82
school year. It appears that at
this time the maximum grant for
next year will be $1750 which
is the same as this year. However
with increased income and no
allowance for increase costs of
living, individual grants will be
approximately $220-250 less
than this year (assuming the
family income increased).
Guaranteed Student Loans

this time that the Guaranteed
Student Loan program will continue to operate without a
"needs-test" of some sort (currently there are no income restrictions). What this means is

The class of 1982 is hosting
the Junior-Senior Banquet in
honor of the seniors. This year
the banquet will be held at
Amish Acres in Nappanee. The
junior class is sponsoring the
musical duo of Farrell & Farrell, a husband and wife singing
team widely known and enjoyed
through their albums and Christian radio.

WORLD SCENE
by Tom Knight
When the Republicans won control of the Senate, the
Reagan White House was confident that one of its firmest
friends on Capitol Hill would be the new chairman of the
Senate committee of Labor and Human Resources, Utah
conservative Orrin Hatch. But less than 100 days into
the new Administration, the honeymoon with Hatch is
apparently over. The White House has resented the fact
that the President had to place a personal call to Hatch to
get his vote on the first big Senate test for the new administration: a bill to raise the debt ceiling. The president
was reported to be miffed.
Luckily for Reagan, the Devastator bullet fired by John
W. Hinckley, Jr., did not explode as it slashed through the
President's chest and into his left lung. But FBI laboratory
analysts got a nasty reminder of the punch packed by the
.22-caliber bullet, which contains a charge of toxic lead
azine designed to explode on impact. As a researcher was
cutting into one under a microscope last week, it exploded,
destroying the microscope and spraying the room with
metal fragments. One man was struck in the arm, but he
and the others in the room escaped injury.
This past Saturday, Maureen Reagan married for the
third time in Los Angeles, California. President Reagan was
planning on attending his oldest daughter's wedding, but
after the attempt on his life, plans were changed. Aides
were also bothered by the fact that the President would
draw a great deal of attention to the fact that he and his
first wife would be posing for wedding pictures, leaving
out the First Lady. Reagan's first wife is the actress Jane
Wyman. The President was not up to traveling and did not
attend the ceremony.
